Raspberry PI questions

[Geoffrey S. Mendelson]

Thanks to everyone for the suggestions. I'm not sure I can actually use 
it, but if I do, I now know where to buy them from.

I also got a reply about the USB (I don't know if it was to me direct or 
to the list, so I'll just say thanks and summarize to the list):

The model A has a single USB port on the board. It is connected directly 
to the USB type A port.

The model B also has the single USB port. It is connected to a three 
port hub. The hub is connected to the two USB type A connectors and a 
USB ethernet interface.

So the USB bandwidth is shared between both type A ports and ethernet.

I was speaking today to someone who is in contact with people working 
downward in the same direction I am working upward. I was looking at 
taking a Raspberry Pi and building an application on it.

The people he was speaking to already had the application running on X86 
hardware and were in the process of porting it to DD-WRT routers and the 
Raspberry Pi. They are having problems because the single USB port does 
not provide enough bandwidth

In my case it may be possible as I only want to go one direction, they 
were going two.

Thanks again to everyone.

Geoff.
